I filmed this video over few days during my stay in Sharm El\nSheikh last March 2019. Like many of the hotel guests, I saw in this small and\nopen aquarium an attractive point to stop at and watch the fish especially its\nlocation is in front of hotel restaurants. In order to provide some useful\ninformation from my side, I had to meet Eng. Samir and Mr. Hamdy Aziz from\nStella Di Marie hotel then after I contacted Mr. Abdel Ghany Mohamed from Cairo\n(supplier of the ornamental fish).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 7-year old aquarium received its founder batch of fish\nfrom a pet store in Cairo then subsequent batches were received from fish\nsuppliers. Also, the koi fingerlings shown in the video indicates the\nreproduction of the species in the aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main species hosted in this aquarium are Koi carp, fan\ntail, gold fish and black stomas. The largest specimens of koi belong to the\noriginal stock received about 7 years before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aquarium water is connected to a sand filter whereas\nback wash then flush takes place once daily then followed by rinsing for 2\nminutes before the discharge goes to the drain that is connected with the drain\nof the swimming pools.\n\nI attended the daily feeding around noon and I\nhave been told that the quantity of the pelleted feed is around 100 g of 2-mm size\nand 27% protein.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
